Me too, I've only seen one Pure with this issue, but about 30% of Topaz with repeated failures even after repair.
[Droid Eris Android Development] eriscentro:
Hello, I'm running KFv23 and I can't use either wired tether for root users or built in froyo wired tethering. In the Evil Eris roms, wired tether was built in and worked perfectly. In kaos froyo, I am unable to get wired tether working without any extra software (such as pay-for software for non root). Wireless tether works perfectly, but my phone gets extremely hot when I use it and if I am in a car, wired tether is the most sensible choice. Has anyone been able to get wired tether working in froyo, and if so, share :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
I don't know specifically but KF is a very new ROM and it's Froyo so don't expect everything to work perfectly.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Whitepaint:
Not sure about it in KaosFroyo, But i know in the CM6(froyo) test build by tazzpatriot, wired tether worked fine for me..
[Droid Eris Android Development] jetmclean:
My Eris fits perfectly snug in the fins of an air conditioning vent in my truck. Even with the fan-only on it stays nice and cool. I just pull it out to use it and pop it right back in.:D

I just hooked up via USB using Fresh 3.0 to get online and edit this note. Fresh 3.0 is has been a super solid ROM for me too. Flawless a2sd. I have 93 apps and 130M free. All the Froyo ROMs are too inconsistent for me and none of the wired internet works.
[Droid Eris Android Development] es0tericcha0s:
*Shrug* I just use PDANet and don't have any problems going that route. EasyTether works too, but you do have to shell out a few bucks for the Pro version (for both PDA and Easy) to visit secure sites which kind of sucks, but where there's a will, there's a way...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackm0d:
I know what the battery stats option does, but I don't have a clue about wiping data/factory reset, cache, Dalvik-cache, SD:ext and rotate settings.

Can someone clarify what these wipe options do?

Thanks in advance for any help. :)

[Captivate General] MSHampton:
AT&Ts website says that it supports voice dialing. The Samsung Galaxy S website says that there should be a Voice Command app. Where is it? I don't see it anywhere! I paried up my bluetooth headset and when I push the button (which on my last phone would activate Voice Dial) nothing happens.

Anyone??
[Captivate General] nxt:
Voice dialing via bluetooth on Android 2.1 doesn't work.

Android 2.2 fixes it :) (Nexus One FTW!), who knows when Captivate will get the update.

Tap and hold the Search button to activate voice search.

There should be an app called Voice Dialing. Use that to voice dial.
[Captivate General] dressanderc:
I beg to differ, I just figured this out. You can say "call -contact name-" and it dials the number.
[Captivate General] MSHampton:
Don't know what magic you're doing, but when I do that it just does a google search for "call [contact name]"
[Captivate General] kestep434:
My Captivate does the same thing, I have tried to voice dial and all it does is google search. Everyone keeps saying there is an app but there isn't. It is pissing me off, I downloaded apps and none of them work. This really really bites.
[Captivate General] ewingr:
I will be watching this thread anxiously.

But I may be making progress! I have purchased VLingo, and it looks like it may end up working like Microsoft Voice Command.

I just did a "Call <First/Last Name> on Mobile, and it dialed".

I'll post back as I progress. This is exactly what I"m looking for.
[Captivate General] dressanderc:
I'm not sure either then. I simply hold the search button at the bottom-right of the phone, it prompts for voice, then i simply say "call XXXXXXX" and it dials. I do have to say the entire contact name, though, both first and last name, exactly how it appears in the list. But it works
[Captivate General] ewingr:
I just tried it and it worked for me too. FAST.

What is missing is a validation step, like MS Voice command offers. It will never understand you correctly all the time.
[Captivate General] ozone777:
No Voice Dial for Me Too!

I don't seem to have the ability to voice dial either.

Speaking a contact's name into the Google utility only pulls up a Google search.

I would be interested to know if the people that are having similar problems have their phones rooted or not.

I am rooted.
[Captivate General] ewingr:
I am rooted, as of this morning, and it was just an hour or so when I realized I could do it with Google search and didn't need Vlingo
[Captivate General] dressanderc:
I could do it before I was rooted
[Captivate General] smitty1:
When I use voice dial I have to say contact name and either mobile or home or work to get it to work right.
[Captivate General] ozone777:
How is Voice Dial Activated?

How, exactly, are successful users activating Voice Dial?

Is it just by pressing the microphone button on the Google search bar on the home screen? Or is there supposed to be a dedicated "Voice Dial" app?

Also, where are the settings located to configure voice dial?
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I was able to get it work. I use the google search widget and click the microphone then speak. BUT, it only finds contacts that are from Google. If I try to call any of my Exchange contacts it does a google lookup, but if it is a contact from google sync (gmail/voice) it works fine.
[Captivate General] MendedEagle:
I can't get mine to work. Been trying it for the past two days.

The google search voice command isn't voice dialing for me. I have no idea what is going on. HELP ME lol
[Captivate General] jhego:
I can't wait for a custom ROM to fix all the problems including this.
[Captivate General] ozone777:
We've Been Scammed!!!

AT&T has scammed us!

I chatted online today with ATT support and the person said that I would have to pay monthly for their voice dial service. After telling her, politely, where to stick her voice dial service, she suggested that I contact Samsung.

After 45 mins, and two support people later, it was finally explained to me that the Captivate is the only version of the Galaxy S that does NOT come equipped with the Voice Command software and that I would have to purchase a third party app from the Market in order to get that capability.

So what it looks like to me is that ATT had the voice command function removed on the Captivate so they could push their own voice dial plan for $4.99 per month.

BASTERDS!!!

I can't wait for the ROMs to start rolling out so I can exact my revenge!:mad:
[Captivate General] cachookaman:
you have to say the full name thats in the address book for it to immediately dial as well. if you dont it shows the "did you mean" box and you can choose from there.
[Captivate General] GermanGuy:
I installed Vlingo from Marketplace. Works like a charm. The programs from Marketplace are all pretty cheap compared to WindowsMobile.
[Captivate General] asrrin29:
My voice dial works. however I have to enunciate very clearly and quickly.

"call Contact Name" brings me to the Contact's page to select which number to dial.

"call Contact Name mobile" dials immediately.

There is even a confirmation feature for my phone where it gives a pop up with my Contact's picture with a ring slowly rotating around it with an option to "dial" or "cancel" doing nothing until the ring completes it's 360 degree rotation will default to dialing, pressing dial will dial immediately, and cancel will cancel the command.

My firmware version is 2.1-update1

Baseband I897UCJF6

Kernel 2.6.29 jetaek.lee@sep-11 #2
[Captivate General] TexUs:
I press and hold the search button, say "Call First Last" and it starts dialing them just fine.

As with all voice dialing this'll be hit and miss depending on the contact name and whatnot.
[Captivate General] KryptosXLayer2:
this being after you press the Google search microphone button, right? I need an app that allows the Jawbone ICON's built-in press and hold to voicedial to work correctly.... had to use Microsoft Voice Command (MSVC) to get it to work, and figure there's got to be something out there that is FREE that will work with Android too, Vlingo looks okay, but $9.99 just isn't worth it for me.
[Captivate General] asrrin29:
correct. I do not have a bluetooth headset yet. I'm sure that it would just be a matter of mapping the button press to the voice search feature, but I don't have anything to test that theory with.
[Captivate General] GermanGuy:
Bluetooth voice dialing does not work on Android 2.1 - supposed to be implemented on 2.2
[Captivate General] ozone777:
Google Contacts Are The Key

Turns out that if your contacts are in Google GMail then you should have no trouble voice dialing with the Google Voice Search.

My problem is that I get my contacts via Microsoft Exchange which the Google Search does not recognize.

I tested this by copying a couple of my Exchange contacts over to GMail contacts and voice dial worked perfectly with them.

Not sure if the Voice Command utility (available on other Galaxy S phones but not the Captivate:() facilitates voice dialing with Exchange or not, but hopefully we'll get the chance to try when the custom ROMs come out.

Until then, apps like VLingo are out there to use.
[Captivate General] MSHampton:
I'm hoping that when 2.2 gets released these issues will go away. I was running 2.2 on my Fuze and voice dialing worked just fine on my Exchange contacts. In fact, it seems that the entire "Corporate Account" stuff is different. The Captivate seems to have some non-generic Samsung programming included to let it do stuff like Exchange Calendar.

Voice Dial on Official Froyo for Captivate

Does voice dial work on the new froyo for Captivate update? If so, how?
[Captivate General] Garcol:
Bluetooth activated voice dial ...?

I can "voice dial" but I want to be able to intiate a voice dial request by signalling with the bluetooth headpiece, like my nokia and my incite and my motorola...

I have installed half-dozen voice dialers from Market on my Captivate Froyo 2.2 (UCKB1). Choice Dialer (v1.7.17) informs me that although the OS is 2.2 "it reports that it does not support Bluetooth voice dialing".

Magic Dial is the ONLY app I have found which is recognized by OS when BT earpiece is signals to make a call...unfortunately, the app IMMEDIATELY hangs-up so I cannot voice ANYTHING.

I have gotten runaround from BOTH AT&T and SAMSUNG on this question.

IS THERE ANY app which will run on this version of FROYO on the AT&T Captivate which will allow me to intiate voice dial from the BT earphone???

Or do I have to ROOT & ROM the phone to get this functionality?

:eek:
[Captivate General] FLAC Vest:
I eould highly suggest getting vlingo ; I have been using this for months and I love it. I can say "call "contact name" and it dials.

It works for creating and sending messages including text as well. Opening applications, searching, everything.
[Captivate General] YakButter:
If you decide to go with rooting and a custom rom, Paragon supports BT voice dialing natively. I'm using v5 with a plantronics headset and it works great.
[Captivate General] ewingr:
I have Vlingo, but I have very mixed success with it.

I love how Choice Dialer does verification, but it is much worse than Vlingo for accuracy.

The Voice Dialer app that is on my phone now (I think maybe this is one that ships on another SGS derivative) works best for accuracy, but I need to be ready to hit the end on the call if it misunderstands.

I so wish we had an app that functioned as good as MS Voice Command.
[Captivate General] spores:
Anyone else having problems with google actions a well?

I never had an issue using google action in stock, but ever since I switched to custom roms, actions isn't working.
[Desire General] Mr Brainz:
As title suggests. Using the recent one released on here with HTC Sense v1.0c.

Used to only get HSDPA with stock firmware.

Thought I saw a thread on here discussing it but I couldn't find it.

Can anyone help please?
[Desire General] cez10:
use search button or simply search the development section theres many fixes for this
[Desire General] EddyOS:
You are getting HSDPA, it's just the icon not being displayed - as said there are fixes for it
[Desire General] Mr Brainz:
As I said I did try searching but couldn't find anything.

I'll have another look.

Appreciate the reply.
[Desire General] ephumuris:
I can't find the fix either!
[Desire General] cgrec92:
who would of thought people still don't know about this

it's native in froyo roms that there is no H icon, speed tests will show you are using HSDPA, it even says in your phone settings...

just download a custom notification bar/theme such as blackbar for defrost.
[Desire General] ephumuris:
I know its not in the stock roms and its never really bothered me. I don't want a custom theme I just want the H icon to add to my current rom. But don't know if there is more to it than just dropping the icon into a certain folder through recovery.
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
There is more to it. It is about editing the framework-res.apk fil on the system partition. And as it just uses the 3g icon you will probarbly also have to edit some xml files. Just about the same as done with the battery mod :)
[Desire General] sh500:
I'm sure there are a simple 'update' to get the H icon. Going through the many pages for each ROMS, it comes up quite a few times.
[Desire General] Mr Brainz:
Not everyone is glued to this forum following every little Android thing. Rooting and using ROMs is very new to me. I only started 4 days ago. But thanks for being "accommodating".

I did a search and nevertheless the answers appeared. I then did the keypad trick with *#*#4636#*#* and noticed my phone IS on HSDPA, just not displaying a H.

I'm very content with that so problem solved.

Thank you to everyone that replied.
[Desire General] cgrec92:
Wow, to be so demeaning to someone and then thank them for giving them the answer. Nice.
[Desire General] Mr Brainz:
OK I read that back and probably came across as a c***.

I run a forum and one of my pet peeves is dismissive veteran members when they interact with noobs. Your tone suggested I should know it all. My tone suggested I'm a penis.

I did find the answer before reading your post. I apologise for the dickishness.

@EddyOS - Not EddyOS UK Garage DJ by any chance?
[Desire General] dnlgee:
HSDPA icon is included by default AFAIK, the framework just needs to be built with it enabled.
[Vibrant General] Yogi76:
I have both my Exchange account and my Facebook account setup to sync on my Vibrant. The calendar items that sync from Facebook show up fine on the phone and they are in turn synced to Exchange and show up in Outlook. The problem is, they all show up with the wrong time in Outlook... they are all 4 hours early. I live in the Eastern Time Zone, so I think it's that they are listed as Pacific Time. Is there any way to change that?

Also, everytime the phone does a scheduled sync of the Facebook calendar, it adds another copy of the Facebook events to my Outlook calendar. It creates a new one every time. Any suggestions?

For now, I've just had to disable calendar sync for the Facebook account on the phone, but I'd like them to sync.
[Vibrant General] Yogi76:
Doesn't anyone else have their phone syncing with their Exchange and Facebook calendars? If so, do you see the wrong time and duplicates for Facebook calendar items that are added to you Exchange calendar in Outlook?
[Vibrant General] Yogi76:
Someone else must have their phones syncing their Exchange and Facebook calendars, right?
[Vibrant General] FurtiveDeimos:
I haven't had this exact problem but something very similar. I use calWidget to display my agenda on my home screen. Any of my face book events that show up on there are behind by 5 hours. When I click to enter the calendar app though, the correct times are listed. This only happens with my facebook events. So you're not alone Yogi, but I have no solution for you.
[Vibrant General] Yogi76:
Thanks for the response. At least now I know I'm not crazy.
[Vibrant General] ledbetter.james:
You aren't tripping, I have the same exact problem. The only difference is mine are off by 7 hours. Its really pissing me off, and makes my widget totally useless. UGH!!!!!!
[Vibrant General] FluffyBunni:
Yogi, I am currently experiencing the exact same problem here in our office with one user. The question I have, is why is Active sync even pulling in the Facebook calendar events? My user happens to be using the same email address for both Facebook and work email accounts, could that be why Active sync is pulling the events? In any event, if at this point I could get the Facebook events to show up on the users phone and not her outlook that would be fine. The best solution would be to get the FB events to show up properly in her outlook, (they are showing up about 4 hours early) at the right times and not repeating themselves.

Did you find any solutions?
[Vibrant General] Yogi76:
Unfortunately, no, I never found a solution to this.

I'm going to hang onto my N1, so if anyone wants to see any side by side comparisons, please ask away.

I would like to see a side by side comparison of the screens close up on the same picture. Engadget did this for the N1 and iPhone4 to show the difference in being able to see pixels on the screen. Just curious how good a super AMOLED screen looks up close compared to an AMOLED screen. Also, it would be nice to see the difference in the camera quality in pictures taken by the N1 vs. the Captivate.
[Nexus One General] c5thunder:
A comparison would be great.

I'm too fed up with my Samsung Jack and couldnt wait for WP7 so I can compare it myself against Android (I really like having Outlook on my phone which is the main reason I didnt get an Android device till now).

I just ordered the Captivate. Been messing around with a friend's N1 running Froyo and its pretty damn good, so I guess i'd like to see how the two stack up, especially given that Captivate still runs 2.1 and ATT sucks at upgrading in a timely manner.
[Nexus One General] KidTech:

[Nexus One General] BoostedSR20:
I haven't done much with the Captivate today other than what I'm doing for this thread, so its hard to say.

A couple of things, the screen is awesome. I hate to say this, but it feels faster than my N1. Just has a snappier feel. Its killing the N1 on web page loading times.

Not having a trackball to wake the phone up is killing me. Not being able to sideload apk's without using adb is really getting old too. Of course I couldn't use Titanium backup to redo all my apps+data, so thats a *huge* set back. :mad:

[Nexus One General] player911:
Did you get the Tmobile version or the AT&T version? I like the Tmobile version better. AT&T likes to **** around with physical specs and styles.

Unfortunately I just bought my Nexus on contract with Tmobile, so no new phones for a while (which doesn't bother me).

Regardless I would like some side by side pics of thickness and screen size. Supposedly Froyo was going to be available in August to all of the Galaxy 2's. I don't know how the carriers are going to handle it but thats what I read.

Also I think while the Samsung looks brighter (semi-negative) I think it has better contrast with the colors. The Nexus 1 looks a tad washed out. Nothing major though. It could also be the auto light sensor as well.

Both phones are look great. I would probably be really on the fence about the N1 or Samsung if I was in the market and had neither. Lots of my friends are looking at Android and I am referring them to the Samsung just because of the new processor and high specs on the major carriers (AT&T mostly).

I think if the Galaxy is popular enough, we may see a large community fan base that is able to root and support custom roms and tweaks. Because I like to tinker it would be a hard decision right now to buy the Samsung until a few months when we learn more about the bootloader and ease of roms.

If the Samsung was able to be opened up like the Nexus, it would be a no brainer purchase. With limited knowledge about the Sammy right now I think I would wait to see how it shapes up or get the Nexus if you couldn't wait. Or buy both like the OP!
